My cigar noob friends thought they were smoking some real cohiba's... they couldn't tell the difference between their bands and my real band!!!

The fake bands have gotten decidedly better in recent years (desktop publishing trickle-down, I imagine), but (to my knowledge) it's still very rare to seen clean embossing like these have on a fake band.

Just a quick update... I've smoked two now with another legit RyJ for comparison...

They were flat tasting with little or no usual Cuban flavor profile.

Probably just cheap Dominicans. Sorry to hear of your gift bombing, but this happens all the time, you are not alone. lol
